Stenciled Layers & Watercolor Dreams: My Favorite Art Supplies in Action

​

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the process of creating a richly layered 12-piece sampler using a dreamy palette pulled from The Color Cube. Starting with a soft base of Masha’s watercolors, I build depth and interest using multiple stencil layers with Blick matte acrylics.

You’ll see how each layer adds mood and magic — from bold pattern play to subtle texture shifts — and I’ll show you how I top it all off with a damask stencil and shimmering Kuretake Gold Mica Ink.

If you love mixed media, mark-making, and exploring color stories, this one’s for you! Grab your favorite tools and let’s paint together.

Looking for the supplies I used? I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used materials on one easy-to-update page here: https://2lilowls.com/favorite-supplies-for-mixed-media-abstract-art/

(Some of the links are affiliate links. If you use my link, I get a small commission, which will go toward my art supplies and to support this channel! I appreciate your support!!)

Note: I don’t list individual supply links on every post any longer, simply because keeping up with that for each video or project took more time than I have. Instead, I’ve created one easy-to-browse page where I’ve listed all my favorite and most-used art supplies. It’s always up to date, and a great place to find what I’m working with most often.
